"Evaluation Copy" means a copy of the Program you obtained from us or other source for evaluation purposes and which is described as "Unregistered" in the "About" screen. An Evaluation Copy may be converted to the Licensed Copy by supplying the name of a registered user or institution and a correct Registration Code, which may be obtained from us or our authorized dealer(s).
"Licensed Copy" means a copy of the Program registered with us or with our authorized dealer(s), and which is described as "Registered to: <your name>" in the "About" screen. A Licensed Copy may be converted converted back into an Evaluation Copy by resetting its registration information.

In particular, Registration Package contains your personal Registration Code, allowing you to remove the registration reminder message and put your name in the "About" screen.
Grant of license.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WinAbility.Com grants to you the right to use the Software under the terms of this agreement. The software is in "use" on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e., RAM) of that computer.
This software is NOT a public domain or free program. It is owned by WinAbility.Com and is protected by the United States and international copyright laws. Therefore, you must treat the Software like any other copyrighted material except that a limited right to make copies of the Software, subject to conditions of this license agreement, is granted to you. You may not copy any written or printed materials from your Registration Package and you may not rent or lease a Licensed Copy of the Software.
TRIAL USE LICENSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WinAbility.Com grants to you a limited license to use an Evaluation Copy of this software for evaluation purposes for a period not to exceed 14 days.
This period may be not a contiguous sequence of days. However, you should count a day as an evaluation day if you used the Program during that day at least once. The purpose of this evaluation period is to allow you to determine whether the program meets your needs before purchasing it.
Once the evaluation period has ended, you MUST either purchase a license for continued use of the program, or stop using it. Use of an Evaluation Copy beyond the end of the evaluation period without registering it is in violation of federal copyright laws.
If you have sent out your registration fee, you may continue to use your Evaluation Copy beyond the end of the evaluation period until your Registration Package arrives.
Obtaining a license for continued use of the Program.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To obtain a license for continued use of the Software, you should send your name, address, and correct amount of the registration fee to our authorized dealer. You may use order form(s) supplied with the documentation to the Software. After getting your Registration Package, containing the Registration Code assigned to you, you may use that code to convert your Evaluation Copy of the Software into the Licensed one.
You agree to keep the Registration Code for your own use only and not share it with anybody else.
CONTINUED USE LICENSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WinAbility.Com grants to you the right to use a Licensed Copy of the software, if you have registered (purchased a license for continued use) it with us or with our authorized dealer. You may not use a registration code to convert an evaluation version of the software into the registered one, if you have obtained the registration code from any source other than us or our authorized dealer.
If the Licensed Copy you are using is registered to some other name, you MUST either unregister it by removing the registration information, or stop using it. Use of a Licensed Copy, registered to anybody else except you (or, for site license arrangements, to your organization), is in violation of federal copyright laws.
You may install a Licensed Copy of the software on more than one computer (for example, a desktop system and a portable notebook), provided that you are the only user of those computers and there is no possibility to use the Licensed Copy by anybody else.
If more than one user uses the Software at your location, each such user must purchase an individual license for continues use, or a site license for the total number of users must be purchased.
